Team India captain Rohit Sharma has the support of former cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar. Rohit Sharma said after the Ranchi Test that only those players who are hungry to play the longer format will get a chance in the red-ball format. Sunil Gavaskar has justified Rohit Sharma. Sunil Gavaskar believes that Rohit Sharma is absolutely right and only players who are hungry to play Test cricket should be given a chance to play. After this statement from Rohit, it is believed that the path to Test cricket might be blocked for players like Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer and Deepak Chahar.
Sunil Gavaskar said: “Rohit Sharma is absolutely right. Only the players who are hungry should be considered and only they should be given a chance. I’ve been saying that for years. Players should remember that the team was not created because of them but because of Indian cricket. His career is credited to the Indian cricket team. Whatever recognition and money the players have received, they are getting it thanks to the Indian cricket team. These players should remain loyal to Team India.
Let us tell you that this whole controversy started with Ishan Kishan. Team India wanted to give Ishan Kishan a chance in the Test series against England. Since Ishan Kishan was on a break, he was given a condition of playing Ranji Trophy to return to the team. But despite repeated warnings, Ishan Kishan did not play the Ranji match. Shreyas Iyer was also ordered to play in the Ranji Trophy after being left out of the team. But Iyer also gave the excuse of injury for not playing. After this, Rohit Sharma made it clear that at least in the Test team, there is no place for players who will not play domestic cricket in the future.
